Hello, I am opening this thread because I believe this is a feature that is not currently available but would be very useful.

I would really like to be able to control, via API, the “Position” setting in the Settings -> Fullscreen menu (see attached photo). So, basically, to be able to control not only FullscreenOn/Off, but also FullscreenPositionOn/off.
It would also be useful to be able to adjust the position (x, y) and size of the Fullscreen window via API.

If this is already possible, please let me know.

Thank you.

Just out of curiosity and for my own experience, in what situations do you use positioning rather than full screen?

Hi! For my use, I need to send a zoomed-out video from a IPcamera to the corner of a TV. Not full screen, just a portion, because I also display other things on the TV.

Where are the "other things" coming from. How do you expect them to be combined with your "positioned" output from vMix?

I have an application that generates on my TV (which is a 3rd Windows monitor) a dynamic screen containing some information. At the same time, I need to overlay the resized Fullscreen at a certain point on the screen, but also, when required and alternatively, a Fullscreen full size. I can't switch from "Position (active)" to "Position (off)" manually. This is why I would like to have an API to control that parameter.
I hope thats clear now. Thanks.
